To all fio/om t may concern/,i

Be it known that we7 Mouais Rorsrnrn and ltonnnr NICHOLSON, citizens olf the United States, residing at Vicksburg, in tl e t county of larren and State of Mississippi, have invented certain lnew and useful line proveniente inCaInp Stoves; and we do declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description'of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertainsto make anduse the saine.

rllhis invention `rela-tes to an improved stove 'for use while camping and one object of the invention is to provide a `stove which can be formed of heavy sheet nietal and. may be placed over an open fire built upon the ground.

Anotherfo'bject of the invention is to so construct this stove that/it may be provided with a baking chamber positioned within an outer casing, the baking chamber being spaced from the walls of the outer' casing to permit the products Ot combustion to pass upwardly around the baking chamber and 25 thus cause the baking chamber to thorouehly heated.

nother object of the invention is to so mount this baking chamber that direct passage of the products o'lcombustion upwardly around the rear portion of the baking chainber and directly into an outlet formed in the top oit the outer casing will be prevented and the products of combustion thus caused to be retarded and the baking chamberthoroughly heated.

Another object of the invention is to so construct this stove that the doorway through which access is had to the baking chamber may be in the forni oi a mouth en tension provided with upper, lower and side wall-forming portions' and may be closed by a door which is hollow and shaped to extend into the mouth oit the baking chamber.

Another object of the invention is to so construct the baking chamber that the bottorn will not become overheated when the stove is in use.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a view sli-owing the improved stove in front elevation.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.

- igure 3 is a top plan view of the stove.

Figure 4r. is a transverse sectional view taken along the line t-Li of Fig. 1.

Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line 5 5 oi Fig. 1.

This stove is provided with an outer casing 1 which is formed of heavy sheet metal and in the present illustration is cylindrical. llhe lower end is open and in order to rein-l iorce the lower end, there has been provided 'a bead 2. lit the upper end,` there has been provided a head 3 having an outlet 11 extended upwardly so that if desired, a smoke pipe can be connected with this outlet. A :fuel doorway :5 is provided in the lower portion of the outer casing and a closure door G is provided tor this ruel doorway so that after :tuel has been passed through the passage 5j the door may be closed and secured by the latch indicated in general by the numeral 7. It will thus be seen that this stove may be put in place upon the ground and a lire built in the lower portion7 the hre being formed oit' wood, sott coal, or any other suitable material.

The baking chamber 8 is mounted in the upper portion otl the outer casing 1 and will also be iiorined of sheet niet-al. The bottom 9 of the baking chamber is provided with upper and lower plates 10 and 11 formed ot sheet metal7 these plates being in spaced relation and the space between theni being lilled with asbestos or a similar substance 12 which will serve to prevent the bottoni troni becoming over-heated. rllhe top 13 O this baking chamber may be convex as shown if desired. At their forward portions the top and bottoni ott" the baking chamber are provided with lip extensions 9 and 13, eachr of which is formed as shown in Fig. 2 and engages the wall oi the yOuter casing at the upper and lower ends ot the doorway which is formed therein and closed by the door le. The walls of the baking chamber are also .tonmed oi sheet metal and the sheet from which the walls are iornied has the end portions thcreo't bent to provide flange portions which are connected with thelwalls of the outer casing at the sides of the upper doorway and along the sides of the tongue extensions 9 and 13 ot the top and bottom of the baking chamber. lt will thus be seen that when the door 14tis swung open, articles products' of combustion) will pass.

may be inserted and removed through the baking chamber mouth portion formed by the side ianges and top and bottom extensions. This door 14 is hollow and provided with an inner wall 16 which forms a continuation of the circular wall of lthe baking chamber vwhen the door is closed. This inner wall is provided with upper, lower and side flanges to engage with the portions 9', 18 and 15 of the baking chamber and thus provide a very good closure for the baking chamber. Therefore, when the door is closed and the latch 17 turned to the operative position 'shown in Fig. 4, the door will be firmly held shut and heat retained in the baking chamber. As previously stated, it is desired to prevent the products of combustion from passing directly upwardly around the rear portion of this baking' chamber and through the outlet and therefore there has been provided a balile strip 18 which extends about the rear portion of this baking chamber at the upper end as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 5. This strip has its end portions terminating in spaced relation to the flanges 15 so 'that spacesl 19 will be` left through which the It will thus be vseen that the products of combustion in moving upwardly will be retarded in its upward movement and the oven will be thoroughly heated at substantially the same temperature at all points.

We claim:

An oven comprising a casing having walls provided with a doorway and at its upper end having a head provided with a products of combustion outlet, a baking chamber in said casing spaced from the walls and top thereof and having a top, a bottom, and side walls, the top and botto-m .being provided with lip extensions engaging said casing at the upper and lower ends of said doorway and having a width equal to the doorway and the walls of the baking chamber having their end portions bent to provide flanges extending along the sides of the lip extensions and engaging the casing at the sides of the doorway to provide with the lip extensions a mouth portion for the baking chamber and a closure door for the doorway having a reduced hollow portion extending Jfrom its inner face for fitting into the doorway and illing the mouth portion of the baking chamber and having close iitting engagement with said lip extensions and flanges.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto aflixed our signatures.
